Portable gauges are used in industries such as agriculture, construction, and civil engineering to measure things like the moisture in soil, and the density of asphalt in a paving mix. There are two basic methods of measuring material with portable gauges, backscatter and direct transmission. ... To measure soil density, for example, the source is placed in a tube and inserted beneath the surface through a punched access hole. Radiation is then transmitted from the source to a detector on the base of the gauge. 3, record 1, English, - portable%20gauge

Les jauges portatives sont utilisées dans l'industrie de l'agriculture, de la construction et du génie civil afin de mesurer, par exemple, l'humidité du sol et la densité de l'asphalte dans un mélange de pavage. Il existe deux méthodes fondamentales pour mesurer le matériau à l'aide de jauge portative : la transmission directe et la rétrodiffusion. [...] Si l'on désire mesurer la densité du sol, par exemple, la source est placée dans un tube et insérée sous la surface du sol par un trou d'accès. Les rayonnements passent ensuite de la source à un détecteur placé à la base de la jauge et la densité du sol est déterminée par le niveau de rayonnement indiqué par le détecteur. 3, record 1, French, - jauge%20nucl%C3%A9aire%20portative
